MFD Navigation Mode In MFD Navigation mode, the MFD displays the airplane’s onboard navigation aid. The current destination appears in the box at the top of the MFD. To select a different destination: Press N. Your airplane’s current heading is represented by the arrow at the top of the compass. The needle points to the heading you would have to follow to arrive at the current destination. Turn your airplane until the needle is pointing to the top of the MFD and you’re on the right course. The two sets of coordinates at the base of your display indicate your current coordinates and the coordinates of your destination. The coordinatesare based on acartesian plottingoftheworld map, where 0,0 is in the bottom left comer. MFD Map Mode In MFD Map mode, the MFD displays an overhead map of the airplane’s environment. Your airplane is always shown in the centre of the map display. - I � � � Airplane. NATO airplanes appear in white. Soviet airplanes appear in black. Missile. NATO missiles appear in white. Soviet missiles appear in black. City, factory, airbase, SAM site, or radar installation. Zoom in to find out what a particular triangle indicates. Aircraft carrier Hill. You can zoom in and out on the map - there are 12 levels of magnification. Status Indicators Press the hash mark (#) key to increase magnification; press the semi-colon (;) key to decrease magnification. Landing Gear Arrestor Hook Thrust Airbrake Status Indicator When illuminated, the airbrakes are extended, Arrestor Hook Status Indicator When illuminated, the arrestor hook is lowered.

76 Flap Indicator Displays the current status of the airplane’s flaps, that is, how many degrees they’ve been lowered. Fuel Indicator Displays the amount of fuel your aircraft is carrying, both internally and externally. landing Gear Status Indicator When illuminated, the undercarriage is down. Reheat Status Indicator When illuminated, afterburners are on. Throttle Setting Indicates the amount of thrust currently requested, measured as a percentage of total engine output (O-l 00%). Thrust Percentage Indicator Indicates what percentage of the requested thrust the engine is now producing. For example, say you’re flying an F/A-l 8, which has a maximum dry thrust of 9,620 kg. Say your engine is currently only producing 3000 kg ofthrust. If you increase your throttle to 50% (that is, if you request 50% of 9620 kg = 4810 kg), the Thrust Percentage Indicator would read 62 (3000 is 62% of 4810). Wheelbrake Status Indicator When illuminated, wheelbrakes are on. Throttle The throttle grip indicates your current throttle setting Maximum Thrust - 700% Military Thrust - Varies Minimum Thrust - 0% Throttle Setting Warning Lights Signal Signal Missile Warning Signal Flashes when a missile is locked on your airplane. The type of missile fired at you appears in the Confirmation Display window. Stall Warning Signal Flashes when your aircraft has stalled. Target Warning Signal Is illuminated when your radar has detected an enemy target. If your MFD is not in Radar mode, the signal flashes; if the MFD is in Radar mode, it simply stays lit. 77
